I don't agree that nothing would have happened. Just probably nothing involving vampires.

Just as Harry, without a prophecy, would have grown up to found the Singularity Institute. You just wouldn't be reading a story about him.

Is this a Harry with or without the magic genes and magical parents?

Either way I would like to think that a rational Harry would end up becoming aware of the magical world and explore the potential of magical means to fulfil his universe optimising objectives.
